NASA is advancing humanity’s ability to explore deep space, building a new Space Launch System (SLS) and the Orion capsule to carry astronauts beyond Earth orbit.

Curtiss-Wright has experience on a wide variety of platforms and missions using the same COTS equipment in both development and operational applications.

An overview of Aerospace Instrumentation Space COTS products and their use in the development and operational flight for Space programs and instrumentation applications.

Réaltra was awarded a contract to develop a launcher video telemetry system (LVTS) that will provide the onboard live video telemetry for a launcher that is anticipated to fly in 2021.

This case study describes how a space vehicle designer was able to rapidly implement a system to collect all of the data from onboard computers and accommodate late changes to requirements.

Sounding rockets can carry experiments to altitudes that are often unsuitable for balloons and satellites and are much more cost-efficient since they do not require expensive boosters or extended telemetry and tracking coverage.

The use of COTS equipment for space applications is increasing in popularity, the risks posed by the space radiation environment need to be understood and mitigated. Download this white paper to learn more.

A developer of a small launcher sought a data acquisition solution that could endure harsh conditions, capture and transmit data during flight while also keeping costs to a minimum.

This white paper looks in more detail at the environmental and operational issues for space launch vehicles and suggests solutions based on existing ruggedized COTS data acquisition systems (DAS),

Curtiss-Wright was selected to provide its COTS data acquisition, networking and recording systems to the European Space Agency for the IXV which are qualified to meet requirements for space equipment such as radiation tolerance and high reliability.
